| Is a USB stick directly into ones streamer (renderer) better than streaming from a PC/NAS? There's been a lot of discussion in this thread, but little in a way of answering why people spend so so much on the equipment mentioned, when a cheap USB stick plugged into your device gives as good, or better SQ.

| Is a USB stick directly into ones streamer (renderer) better than streaming from a PC/NAS? @cindyment - It's not jitter on the output of the DAC I'm wondering about, it's on the input, along with electrical noise, which is/may be created by the ethernet links - switch/cables/PS. USB 'isolators', not inexpensive IMO, as they vary, in ri... | |
| Is a USB stick directly into ones streamer (renderer) better than streaming from a PC/NAS? @akg_ca - I agree this can force one 'down the rabbit hole', but that is the reason for my original post, to get people to go down it, and explain their reasoning.

| What are some of the downsides of owning a Magneplanar .7 or 1.7i ? Outdated terminals? I've had 3 pairs of Maggies and banana plugs have always fitted with no problems whatsoever. My current 1.7i's and my previous .7i were fine too. The 1.7i's are a step change in performance over the .7i's IMO - a huge leap in p... |
